His son was leaving for World War I, and they did not know if he would return. Among his last words to his father were, “Dad, if I never see you again here, I’ll meet you where the gates never swing outward.”</p>

<div class="lyrics">
|
|
<p>Just a few more days to be filled with praise,<br>
|
|
And to tell the old, old story;<br>
|
|
Then, when twilight falls, and my Savior calls,<br>
|
|
I shall go to Him in glory.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">I’ll exchange my cross for a starry crown,<br>
|
|
Where the gates swing outward never;<br>
|
|
At His feet I’ll lay every burden down,<br>
|
|
And with Jesus reign forever.</p>
|
|
<p>Just a few more years with their toil and tears,<br>
|
|
And the journey will be ended;<br>
|
|
Then I’ll be with Him, where the tide of time<br>
|
|
With eternity is blended.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Though the hills be steep and the valleys deep,<br>
|
|
With no flowers my way adorning;<br>
|
|
Though the night be lone and my rest a stone,<br>
|
|
Joy awaits me in the morning.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>What a joy ’twill be when I wake to see<br>
|
|
Him for Whom my heart is burning!<br>
|
|
Nevermore to sigh, nevermore to die,<br>
|
|
For that day my heart is yearning.</p>
|
